The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point to a targeted range of 3.5%-3.75%, despite two regional bank presidents dissenting. The decision was seen as a 'hawkish cut' due to the Fed's cautious tone and limited rate projections. However, the Fed's announcement that it would begin purchasing $40 billion in Treasury bills starting Friday was a surprise to investors, who responded positively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.1% on Wednesday. Other news included Oracle missing revenue expectations, Microsoft and Amazon investing over $50 billion in India's AI industries, and Goldman Sachs recommending several energy stocks. The article concludes that the Fed's decision may pave the way for a Santa Claus rally to end the year.

The tech industry has invested around $517 billion in specialized chips and data centers for AI in 2025, but concerns are growing about the rapid obsolescence of these chips. Analysts warn that the actual lifespan of AI chips may be as short as 2-3 years, compared to the previously assumed 6 years, due to the rapid release of new, more powerful processors. This could lead to significant financial risks for companies that have invested heavily in AI infrastructure, particularly those with high levels of debt. Some companies are trying to mitigate this risk by reselling older chips or using them for less demanding tasks.
